How can I spot a fake Ming vase?
To spot a fake Ming vase, first look at the unglazed paste at the bottom edge of the rim. There, you should see a reddish brown edge where the glaze stops. If not, it's possible the vase is not from the Ming dynasty. You can shop a collection of expertly vetted Ming vases from some of the top sellers on 1stDibs.
